Because it's DU... Dennis Donovan Feb 2019 #1

This is DU. Simple. No one here claims to be impartial. Joe941 Feb 2019 #54

Or because it's apples and oranges. See post #72. Garrett78 Feb 2019 #78

The Hill published a false report saying that Bernie's would be at the same time as Stacey's. pnwmom Feb 2019 #82

Maybe because the latter is a Democrat. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2019 #2

Doncha hate it when Democrats bash Democrats. progressoid Feb 2019 #37

that doesn't quite seem to be the same thing treestar Feb 2019 #38

True, it wasn't any individual. It was the entire DNC. progressoid Feb 2019 #48

Ironic, since Bernie has supporters who blame the DNC treestar Feb 2019 #69

Exactly again. The accusations about Hillary caused explanations R B Garr Feb 2019 #87

So it's got nothing to do with the speech. Some people just can't get over 2016 Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2019 #45

Bingo KPN Feb 2019 #58

Speech? treestar Feb 2019 #68

Yeah. Like I said. Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2019 #70

don't know what you are getting at there treestar Feb 2019 #71

And Bernie Sanders spoke last of all, criticized Trump and praised Abrams Rhiannon12866 Feb 2019 #79

Bravo! treestar Feb 2019 #80

Yup. MontanaMama Feb 2019 #53

If i am not mistaken genxlib Feb 2019 #4

This makes sense, but I believe Sanders spoke after, not opposite Abrams, or... LAS14 Feb 2019 #15

Interesting. klook Feb 2019 #73

Sanders spoke after. Next? Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2019 #46

Bernie spoke after Abrams, and he started his speech by praising Abram's response. Bluepinky Feb 2019 #57

Yes, I heard his response and it was scheduled after Abrams Rhiannon12866 Feb 2019 #67

No, Bernie Sanders spoke last, well after the others. Rhiannon12866 Feb 2019 #77

The whole outrage was based on ever moving goalposts... TCJ70 Feb 2019 #6

Yes, it's Berniephobia, irrational hatred of Bernie Sanders. Bluepinky Feb 2019 #25

Maybe its because Harris didn't do one? MrGrieves Feb 2019 #7

She called it a "pre-brutal". Preempting the official Democratic rebuttal. N/t TCJ70 Feb 2019 #11

Harris didn't do a rebuttal. LexVegas Feb 2019 #8

She called it a "pre-buttal". I guess she just had to go first... TCJ70 Feb 2019 #12

Disingenuous. "Not a particular fan of either" false equivalence setup. FreepFryer Feb 2019 #9

Harris's response was a prequel. She wasn't trying to compete with Abrams. octoberlib Feb 2019 #10

"Pre-buttal". TCJ70 Feb 2019 #13

I didn't see Sanders as trying to compete with Abrams either. pangaia Feb 2019 #28

There is a tradition to provide a single voice in response FOLLOWING a SOTU address. honest.abe Feb 2019 #14

I disagree, I see it as another voice against Trump's BS. Bluepinky Feb 2019 #16

He could have waited one day. honest.abe Feb 2019 #17

Some people criticize Bernie no matter what he does. Bluepinky Feb 2019 #20

In most cases he deserves it. honest.abe Feb 2019 #22

The corollary is just as valid. LanternWaste Feb 2019 #49

Not sure how that applies in this situation. Bluepinky Feb 2019 #55

You're a mind reader now? TCJ70 Feb 2019 #18

With Bernie its fairly easy to see his motives. honest.abe Feb 2019 #21

Let me fix that for you: "assume his motives". N/t TCJ70 Feb 2019 #23

" Bernie on the other hand assumed that the formal Dem response by Abrams was not going to be good pangaia Feb 2019 #29

There were 5 rebuttals last year. progressoid Feb 2019 #36

I thought it was Joe Kennedy?? honest.abe Feb 2019 #39

Yes, Kennedy the 3rd. progressoid Feb 2019 #44

Ok.. yes, that is basically correct but.. honest.abe Feb 2019 #41

so clearly the TRADITION of a SINGLE voice wasn't followed last year either. progressoid Feb 2019 #43

It's never been followed. Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2019 #50

I'm all for more voices against these assholes. progressoid Feb 2019 #63

I have to admit I did not realize that. honest.abe Feb 2019 #51

The number of "bros" in 2016 pales in comparison to the PUMAs of 2008... Dennis Donovan Feb 2019 #90

Because Harris is a Democrat not just one when she is running for President. redstatebluegirl Feb 2019 #27

she's a Democrat bigtree Feb 2019 #42

Harris is a Democrat and didn't spend 2016 kneecapping HRC. Hence the push back. RelativelyJones Feb 2019 #52

Are you suggesting that people are rehashing the 2016 primary? QC Feb 2019 #59

Right or wrong this should be a message that the ghosts of 2016 are still with us, and why it still_one Feb 2019 #56

Cool Story, Bro , ! stonecutter357 Feb 2019 #61

I don't really care about Sanders posting a message but there is a big difference here. Garrett78 Feb 2019 #72

So says you. I like hearing what Senator Sanders has to say and agree with him about income Bluepinky Feb 2019 #74

I didn't comment on his message or say anything about liking or disliking. Garrett78 Feb 2019 #75

Ok, I apologize. I'm just tired of hearing him criticized for everything he does, Bluepinky Feb 2019 #76
